Chapter 133 Banana

During dinner, everyone at the dinner table glanced at Lin Xiuqing from time to time, which made her a little embarrassed.

Mother Ye thought for a while and said, "Don't go out and talk nonsense about Ah Qing this afternoon. I don't know if it's true or not. It's very strict now."

Many children mean blessings. If she is pregnant, Mother Ye will certainly want her to have another child safely.

"We know it."

"Mom, what's wrong with Third Aunt?" Ye Chenghai asked his mother curiously.

"It's nothing. Children, don't be so curious. Adults ask questions about anything. Hurry up and eat your food."

"Hmph..."

"When picking up vegetables, don't poke around in them..."

"You guys should hurry up and eat too. You're taking your time. The food is so good, isn't it? Before, when there weren't any dishes to go with it, you were all rushing to eat. You ate so fast..."

"Did your chin leak? The food fell on the table, so I picked it up and ate it..."

There were constant voices scolding the children on the table, and Lin Xiuqing's matter was tacitly revealed for the time being.

After everyone went back to their houses after dark, Ye Yaodong took out the hidden guava, cut it, and handed it to the two children with excited expressions.

"My wife gave you something to eat. Don't go out and tell me. Otherwise, my wife won't feed you next time."

"I got it, Dad."

The younger son also nodded and echoed.

Ye Yaodong handed the other one to Lin Xiuqing, but Lin Xiuqing didn't eat it. Instead, she took it out and cut it in half and handed him half.

"eat together."

He took it with a smile and ate it. Lin Xiuqing also ate it.

On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people who had the conditions and were willing to start killing chickens and ducks early in the morning, and there were also more vendors selling meat and vegetables in the village.

[An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended this book to me, x-on:! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here.]

No one is usually willing to spend money on food and drink, so they are more willing to spend money during the New Year and holidays.

When Ye Mu heard someone selling fish balls, she quickly ran out and asked others to pick them up.

The fish balls are round and plump, which is in line with the meaning of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, and they are very popular in their village.

As soon as the vendor put down his load at the door of their house, a group of women who heard the news gathered around to buy.

Ye Mu bought a pound of horsetail fish balls and a pound of cuttlefish balls, and planned to mix them and cook them to suit everyone's taste.

These two types of fish balls were under the guise of women, and the vendors agreed to sell them at the same price, 250 cents a pound, otherwise the cuttlefish balls would be 2 cents more expensive.

Rural women are very economical.

Ye Yaodong had nothing to do. He moved a stool early in the morning and sat with his feet up at the door. The family was full of people who could work, so there was nothing to do without him. But he was used to being busy during this period, and suddenly he had nothing to do. It was really frustrating. He was a little uncomfortable.

He thought for a moment and shouted to his wife in the room, "I'm going out for a walk and I'll be back soon."

"Come back early for lunch."

After he responded, he walked out and wandered around casually.

Usually, the women in the village sit at the front or back door and weave nets, which makes the village seem quiet and peaceful. Today, it felt like every household was moving and the whole village was alive. The children knew that there was going to be a big meal during the festival, so they all screamed excitedly at the door. Jump again.

….

Ye Yaodong was walking leisurely on the path in the village, but unexpectedly saw Xiaoxiao holding a machete in front of him, and he quickly stopped.

"Xiaoxiao, where are you going?"

"We don't have enough firewood at home. My father sent me to chop some firewood so that we don't have enough firewood to burn at night. Where are you going?"

"I have nothing to do, just walk around."

"That's just right, come chop wood with me..."

When Ye Yaodong heard this, he immediately turned around and left, but he couldn't escape in time. He jumped up from behind and grabbed his neck, "You're already here, why are you leaving? Let's go together!"

"Oh~ let go. If I had known better, I wouldn't have called you." Ye Yaodong slapped his hand away. It was too short and strangled his neck.

"It's late. Let's go together and have company."

"Why don't you ask your brother to go with you? There are three brothers above you, so why is it your turn?"

"My eldest brother is killing ducks, my second brother is weaving bamboo sticks, my third brother has been out to sea with the big ship for a few days, my father has gone to the fields to hoe taro, and all the women are busy washing vegetables. I am not the only one who has nothing to do at home now. Really? My father couldn't see me being idle, so he sent me to chop wood."

Understand, he is also idle at home.

"Forget it, I have nothing to do. I'll take a walk with you."

"now it's right."

The two of them walked towards the road and chatted. They walked to the opposite side of the road, found a path and went up the mountain.

Xiao Xiao was looking for dead branches to pick up, but Ye Yaodong took a fancy to a few banana trees growing on the mountain. Strings of banana trees were hung all over the trees.

He wandered around from one tree to another, but they were all hung too high. Without long hooks, they couldn't bend the large handfuls of bananas.

"What are you doing? Want to pick bananas?"

They call bananas bananas.

"Yeah, don't you think it's very eye-catching with this big bunch hanging on it? It's clearly tempting me!" Ye Yaodong kept looking up at the banana tree, looking for one that was a little lower and could be reached.

"Tie a hook to a bamboo pole and come back later. How can I pick it now? Help me pick up the branches."

"You pick it up first, I'll go look elsewhere."

"Hey, you are so unreliable! You agreed to help me cut firewood, but you went to pick bananas yourself."

"Of course bananas are more important than you!" His voice came from far away.

"I have it too."

Ye Yaodong walked around and finally found a tree with a string that could be reached. There happened to be a soil slope next to this tree.

He stood on the slope, stood on tiptoes, reached out and grabbed its stem, and bent it down, but it was a bit difficult to break it off.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, bring your machete here."

"You don't help chop wood, but you still want to use my dick..." Xiaoxiao scolded and walked over, "Why do you want a machete?"

"Ah? Found one you can get? I'll chop it, I'll chop it..."

"Is there anything else I can get? Look again, there seem to be three more trees up there..."

Ye Yaodong looked at him with disdain, "You just didn't like me for not helping you chop wood, and you asked me to bring you a machete? Now you have to pick bananas again?"

"Hey, didn't Zhuge Liang say, this moment is the other moment, go and look for it again."

Ye Yaodong looked at him confused, what Zhuge Liang said?

"What are you looking at? Look for it quickly? I can leave the machete to you, you are taller, and I will go to A Guang's house to get a hook."

….

After saying that, he threw down the machete and ran away. Just now, he was disgusted with him for not helping and delaying things. Now he is more active than him!

***!

Ye Yaodong didn't worry about Zhuge Liang or Zhuge Liang. He put a bunch of bananas in the corner, picked up the machete and went up to look for it.

Unexpectedly, he found another short one. The banana was not as big as before, but it didn't matter. He didn't mind, as long as he got something.

This banana tree was relatively short. He broke off the stem and cut off another bunch. Then he stood on the slope and saw two or three handfuls growing on a stem, but it was a bit difficult to reach.

He glanced around to see if there were any simple tools. It wasn't until he looked at the surrounding trees that he thought about it, then his eyes lit up. He turned around and chopped down a thicker branch, and cut off all the extra branches. , leaving only one bottom branch.

After cutting the branch into something like a compass, Ye Yaodong took the branch and hooked it directly onto the series of banana stems. Then he swiped down and pulled the entire banana stem in front of him.

After he caught it, he took a machete and cut off a section of the stem, and got several more bananas!

"Dongzi, Dongzi, where is he?"

"Up here, here!"

Xiaoxiao held up a long bamboo pole with a hook tied to it. He ran over excitedly, followed by Ah Guang.

"How many have you cut?"

"It's quite a lot. If you want, score a few more points."

"Use this, use this", Xiao Xiao held up the hook as if offering a treasure, "I just tied one up temporarily, just use it for now. I'll hook the banana down and you can chop it."

"You're not chopping firewood anymore? If you don't chop wood, how can you do the work later? You're such a big man, don't let your father take off your pants and beat him." Ye Yaodong laughed at him teasingly.

"Nervous, I can't run away? I'm already a father... Who cares, chop it down now, and you can help me pick up some branches when you have time. Just bring some bananas back and plug their mouths."

A Guang walked around and took a quick look, "There aren't many trees here. Why don't you go and chop them down next to my house? My dad planted a few randomly in the past few years, and they can be picked now. Some people also planted them randomly here. It’s fine if you cut one or two bunches, but if you cut too many, people will get upset.”

Ye Yaodong looked at the soil bananas at his feet and cut down three trees. One or two bunches were cut off each tree. It should be okay, right? There are still many hanging on it.

"Okay, I'll just go to your place. I have enough. I'll go to your place to cut some and bring it back to Xiaoxiao."

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have run around. I would have walked to the back mountain." Xiaoxiao carried the bamboo pole and walked down again.

A Guang helped Ye Yaodong get those bananas, "I have quite a lot of them there. You have so many people in your family and you have so many children, so just chop some more and get them back."

"Why chop so much? I can't finish it all at once, so I'll leave it to spoil. After I finish eating, I'll go to your place to chop it."

"That's up to you."

The three of them walked excitedly to the back mountain. The locals called it the back mountain, but it was actually called Linggang Mountain, right next to Aguang's house.

The three of them were pretty good with their hands, pulling up leaves and weeds along the road as they walked. Ye Yaodong looked at the reeds on the roadside, picked out two of them and touched them, and then stretched them out to scratch his little neck.

"Fuck, what are you doing?"

"Try to see if the hair will fall out. It's okay to pull it out a little and tie it to the broom."

"You can?"

"I can't, my grandma can. Forget it, she's already old."

"What's the point? She looks in good health. She moves freely. She's not deaf or blind. Find something for her to do! The old man can't be too idle. When he's idle, he can't sit still and wants to pick up a hoe. .”

That's true!

"I'll do it later. It just so happens that I haven't bought anything for the new home yet."

Aguang reminded: "If you want to pull it out, you should do it early. If it is later, you will probably have to pull it out for others. In the past few days, I have seen several people running around to pull out this thing. They have all made a selection and sold it. Now they have everything." It can be sold.”

Many of the random things that grow on the mountains can be turned into valuables in the hands of people in their village.

"knew."
